Hit a racoon about a month ago and that bitch tore up my front bumper. Damages were $1600!! Messed up my PDC sensors, shattered my fog light, cracked my fog light "under" housing and cracked my bumper and the amber reflector. Attached are some pics. Will turn in to get fixed on May 5th. After the estimate, BMW went ahead and took the glass and foglight out and will repair it later.
About two cars ago, i hit a freakin turkey when i had my Platnium Gray 528 and it did $2500 in damages.
Rule of thumb ---> Me and animals don't get along.

Me too, i think they are trying to wing us away from gettin any 5 series. Something about the demand isn't high for 5series and is more so for the 3 and X5??? I guess she will tell me whats the deal when i turn in my wife's truck soon; by the way - have had ZERO problems with that beast!!!

You like? haha Seriously, Alpine White is nice looking (see Alpine White Girl's mods which really add to the Alpine White look).
Actually, my fav 550 color is Titanium Silver.
Whatever color you chose, you can't go wrong with a 550.
